That would be lovely.

Some questions here:
- How easy is it to convert C++ to C#? Or can the mono framework
handle C++?
- Why would the mono framework make it easier to integrate
the languages features?
- Wouldn't it be better to try to build something like Perl's
Inline function for each language:
Here's what I'd like to write
# octave -q --eval \
'files = {PERLCODE: sort { lc($a) cmp lc($b) } map { s/^logfile-// } @ARGV
};' \
'printf("result = %f+/-%f", do_stats_on_files(files) ); ' \
logfile-*.log
Is this your idea?
